Chapter 875 Return
Ronald’s negotiations with the News Company were very successful.
In the following days, interviews with relevant personnel were conducted one by one, and the publication and compilation of the book was on track.
And at the same time.
The part that Ronald looked forward to the most was the newsletter for their trip to the North Pole.
It has also been compiled and completed by the news company, which is then responsible for sending it to the world for corresponding publicity work.
The level of technology in this world.
This resulted in considerable interest in news about discoveries.
So even in the current environmental background, the world has changed and the existence of magic has been revealed. But the fact that humans successfully reached the North Pole for the first time will also attract a lot of attention.
As long as Heloise paid attention to outside news.
Then Ronald believes that she will definitely see his name in the news and understand the message that Ronald wants to convey.
Optimistically, they can meet again in a few months.
...
"Ronald, Entrod seems to be quite peaceful these days?"
On the afternoon of the last Thursday in February.
Nicole, who was staying in the same hotel as Ronald and the others, knocked on the door of their room, walked in skillfully, sat down, and began to enjoy the afternoon tea prepared by Costart at noon today.
It wasn't until half of the small cake in front of her was eaten that Nicole raised her fork and said with emotion:
"I originally thought that during my stay in Waterfall City these few days, I would be able to see some incredible things!"
Just like that in the room at this moment. Same situation.
In fact, after returning to Falls City, Nicole did not take the train back to Grid, but planned to stay here for a while.
The reason is also very simple.
After contacting the staff of the Grid Embassy in Entrod, the other party learned that Ronald and others had successfully arrived in the North Pole, and used radio to notify the country of the news.
Subsequently, Grid, who knew the situation, arranged a task for Nicole to temporarily follow Ronald and investigate the relevant intelligence in detail.
As a regular employee of the Bureau of Investigation.
Nicole naturally accepted this task without any surprise.
However, she did not choose to hide the details from Ronald. Instead, she informed Ronald of this information at the beginning of the mission, and both parties were openly cooperating.
"..."
"Costat, thank you for the afternoon tea."
At this time, the investigator girl raised her teacup and thanked the maid next to Ronald.
Not only did she like Costat very much, but she also recognized the maid's skills very much. During this period, she didn't miss a single meal every day.
Faced with Nicole's actions, Costart just nodded slightly.
Then he turned his attention to Ronald who was standing aside:
"Sir, we have stayed in Waterfall City for a long enough time." "
The news work is over now, and we have no other matters to deal with here. I would like to take the liberty to ask - —I wonder when you plan to return to Kurpis?"
"It has indeed been a while..."
Ronald looked calm after hearing Costant's question.
"The issue of summoning creatures seems to be being dealt with by Entrod now, and other matters are indeed over. So - let's set it at the end of this week. We will then take the train and return to Joize from North Quik Forest."
"..."
"Oh! Are you leaving?"
Ronald and Costart calmly discussed the next action plan.
However, after hearing these words, Nicole, who was sitting aside, had a troubled expression.
"I thought you were planning to stay in Entrod for a while longer. Why are you leaving so soon?" "
We are returning to Greed, and your tasks, Nicole, should also be handed over to a dedicated person. Then there will be By saving time, you can also better contact the surviving casters of [Secret of Arcane]."
Ronald immediately cited the benefits of such an action.
But after seeing the subtlety of Nicole's expression, he asked tentatively:
"Or...Nicole, what happened to you in Entrod, so you want to stay for a while?" "
Really ? I can't hide it from you..."
After Ronald expressed her thoughts, Nicole did not hide it, but nodded quite frankly and replied:
"Actually, this morning, I found some while shopping outside. Interesting runes..."
While speaking, Nicole wet her hands with some water, and then started writing special runes on the table in front of everyone.
"This is..."
Ronald glanced over and immediately recognized these runes.
Because they are exactly the same as the words in the spell system used by Nicole, and even because of his ability to understand language, Ronald can clearly identify the meaning - weakening, annihilation.
After thinking for a moment, Ronald immediately understood the reason why Nicole wanted to stay in Waterfall City:
"Are these the traces left by people from your school?"
"That's right." Nicole nodded lightly and continued. , "The place I found, there should have been a fight last night, and there was a caster of [Secret of Arcane] among them, and look at this rune..." As she spoke, Nicole's fingers
still Drawing on the water stains that have not dried up:
"This is already the application method of runes to form words."
"Even within [Secret of Arcana], this is something that only a very powerful caster can do. If there is If such an important figure in the school of thought is in this city, I hope to establish a stable connection with him before leaving Waterfall City." Ronald nodded to
express understanding:
"I understand."
After all, Nicole wants to rebuild now school of thought.
Clues about important figures in this school of thought appeared in front of her, and she naturally didn't want to let them go.
But the current situation is that Ronald plans to return to Greed.
Due to all her tasks as an investigator, Nicole needs to return to the country with Ronald and the others.
However, if Nicole did this.
Then even if she returns from Greed after completing her mission. But if she was delayed for so many days, she would most likely lose the chance to meet the [Secret of Arcana] caster forever.
Ronald said with a smile on his face:
"So - Nicole, do you hope that Costat and I can continue to stay in Waterfall City for a while?"
Nicole looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded and replied:
"If You guys have urgent matters to return to Greed, so you don’t actually need to care about what I think.”
"It's okay, actually we..." Of
course Ronald didn't mind delaying for a few days to help Nicole on this matter, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, Costart, who was standing silently on the side, spoke:
"Sir, there is a problem we need to deal with."
"After this period, we need to pay for our accommodation in Waterfall City ourselves. If we still need it, If you continue to stay, you need to consider financial reasons now."
